I see from that link he has also resigned from the board of The Lyceum Theatre.

[Col2]

These are my thoughts too. I also don’t think we’d pay what St Johnstone would want.

Last year of contract. He would cost c£300k

If/when Porto goes, Kerr is replacing him, almost certain.

Kerr is the exact type of center half I admire. Big dynamic no nonsense powerhouse who can also pop up in the opposition box and score the odd goal. Have to say he is in my opinion a huge upgrade on Porteous. If we can sign Kerr and make a profit on selling Porto then its a win win imo.

Can’t agree that they’d let their double winning captain go for that, last year of his contract or not.

We might need to play the longer game and sign him on a precontract in Jan. Actually think he will sign a new contract with them.

We have had serious issues with bring through young central defence prospects since the emergence of John Blackley. 1971 & 74 we saw Alex Pringle make a few first team appearances and Derek Spalding, the latter making quite a few more, before their careers moved on to Dundee and Chicago respectively.

Craig Paterson looked the as though he would be the best since sloop through the ranks and played over 100 games before departing for Ibrox after around 3 years in the first team. We also had Gordon's Hunter and Rae, who will forever remain in Hibernian folklore but they reigned when we were dominated by "them" and then Tweedy came and went and then disappeared.

To me young Porty will be the best central defender to come through the Hibs ranks since Sloop, over fifty years ago. He has a physical prescience and is comfortable with the ball and can pick a pass, his reading of the game is improving and so is his concentration and awareness. I think in a couple of years when Ryan is the same age as Jason Kerr, there will be a number of people on here, twitter & FB with large amounts of egg on their chin. All IMHO of course.

My opinion too on Porto although I don’t quite go back as far:greengrin Some seem desperate to get rid of him but I would be delighted and hope he is at Hibs next season and beyond.

I accept that he's a physical presence and is good on the ball but I don't accept that his reading of the game, concentration or awareness are improving - I'd say all of these things have regressed a fair bit over the past 6 months or so.

Until then I'd have been inclined to agree with you entirely and I was previously very excited by Porteous as a prospect. I'd also say that whilst I'd have grudgingly accepted he might be a bit rash at times, his awareness, reading of the game and concentration were actually much better than he got credit for.

Of course, there could be valid reasons for the regression. Other teams might have spotted a weakness and started targeting and exploiting him, having become more accustomed to playing against him over a couple of seasons. It might be a simple blip or poorer form that he simply needs to play his way through - the type of thing that happens to every player as they improve. He might be knackered - he played a lot of football last season and the spells where he probably looked worst were that bit before Daz came into the team at the end of January and then at the end of the season he looked shaky again. It might just have been mental fatigue. It might be that he's improved as far as he is going to under our present manager / coaching team and he'll need something or someone else to kick him on a bit further. It might be the attitude thing to do with being around the Scotland squad or getting his head turned by Championship interest.

In order to kick on and improve you have to tackle weakness or underperformance along the way and I think that to improve he needs to be better in the areas mentioned.

I'd love for it to be a bit of poor form, for him to stay with us and to kick on and improve on these weaknesses but I just don't see it happening. I think he'll be offski and I think we need to deal with that.

Unfortunately the Hibs jersey appears to act like kryptonite to players we sign from st Johnstone.

[Kato]

Porteous will be a top player and people will want to retract some of the statements about him in years to come. I’ve never know why some people have to be so negative to a player especially one of our own, some of the criticism he’s came in for is embarrassing. Yea he’s made mistakes as have plenty others but these seem to totally overshadow the very good young player he is. To the point of outgrowing us, I’ve never seen him say this so not sure what that’s all about but one things for sure he will end up at a bigger club than ours before his career ends.

Well said. A lot of the stuff that people have said about Porteous is just happening in their heads.

Paul Hanlon.

[lucky]

Porteous is still very young for a CH, in 3 years time he’ll be playing at far level than Kerr. If Hibs sell him I hope it’s for a lot more than £1m. He is still developing and will go onto be a mainstay of Scotland’s defence in the future.

Read about this being in the pipeline a couple of weeks ago, find it strange for them to be sending players to a direct rival of ours after the chat that was out when the partnership was announced, I’m aware we might not have been after someone in that position and I’m aware they need to give their guys exposure but surely they go somewhere else than to strengthen a rival

Attacking mid, I know it’s dependant on what JR is looking for etc but they surely attempt to shift him out on loan to another league? How does them strengthening a league rival of ours constitute as ‘working together to drive both clubs forwards’ ?

[Heisenberg]

I’m sure he might be have been offered to us first

Sure he’s an attacking midfielder. Probably looking for him to start every week and we can’t really offer that with Scott Allan in the squad.

[Unseen work]

Can’t complain about him going to Aberdeen.

Going by Ross this season we have Allan, Mallan, Irvine, Magennis and Murphy who can play that position.

Why can’t we? I’m aware that every player Brighton want to send out won’t be suitable for us however there are a fair amount of clubs to choose from in the UK why a direct rival of a club there supposed to have a strategic partnership with? Mental IMO

19 and last played for England at U17 so I wouldn’t read too much into that.

Could be a decent signing but there’s little to give us any indication either way really.

Our whole centre midfield is quite uninspiring imo. Functional to an extent, but quite dull.

[Smartie]

I quite like all of our attacking midfielders individually, it’s fitting even just one of them into a cohesive team unit that I find challenging.

[Heisenberg]

I think Allan as the number ten in front of Irvine and Gogic would’ve been a good mix in midfield. It looked good with Murphy in there for a couple of games before Newell came back.

In terms of signings I thought we might’ve had one or two more by now. Certainly being patient.

[Eyrie]

I like Newell as a player but I'm beginning to think that offering him a new deal wasn't the smartest use of our budget as it's difficult to see how he fits into our best team.

Find it odd too.

Would love to hear the recruitment take on this?

Agree with others - we have some good individual midfielders when fit but our midfield isn’t good enough and needs improved. We can’t expect to go in with same central players next season surely - we need an upgrade.

Edouard and Ajer are their best two players and Elyounoussi is very good.

If they’re looking at moving on Edouard, Griffiths and Ateji(is he still there?), and Wyke is coming in as part of the overhaul then that’s not terrible, but he can’t be the direct first choice replacement for Edouard.

Worth remembering the huddy they had on loan from Nottingham Forest, Worrall his name is I think, is now a £10m target for West Ham.

For me Aribo, Kamara, Tavernier, Goldson, Barisic, Kent, Moreleos and Helander. They also have players who probably couldn't get a game in the EPL these days but have hundreds of games at that level between them e.g. Davis, Defoe and Arfield. I think they have atleast half a team that could easily play at that level.

It’s a fantastic move for him - great standard and great opportunity…

FWIW I personally think you’re putting too much on what’s only really a strategic partnership.

I’d imagine a conversation will have been had with regards to youngsters that we may be interested in or they feel could be good for us, his name presumably never came up as one we wanted so other offers will have been considered.

Rose will be a first team starter.

I would imagine any team in the premier league looking to sign Doig isn’t looking at him to go straight into the first team at his age, especially given he’s only had one full season in a different league.

He will be a young talent for the future who will likely be loaned out or integrated into the team gradually.

Jason Naismith signs for Killie on a 1 year deal.

[Highwayman]

Heard Hibs were interested in signing Liam Henderson when his loan deal was up in 2016.
Celtic at the time were cranky and still are over losing out on Andy Robertson and were asking silly money for a player with his experience at the time.
Thought he was a bit raw and a work in progress when he was at Hibs but there was the making of a quality player there.
By this time I thought he would be further on his career and being looked at for a place in a Scotland squad.

The Hibs statement on the transfer heavily suggests there is some form of buy back option or a sell on percentage involved in the deal

Totally agree with you about how hard it is for young players to progress in the game.
Hibs youth development has not been productive over and beyond the last decade in that the last player they good gelt for was Steven Fletcher and that was some time ago.
The rumoured offers for Ryan Porteous seem to be around the million mark and would think that Hibs should be looking for a bit more for a player they’ve developed over quite a long period.

[147lothian]

Liverpool might face competition apparently Man U are interested in him also, let the bidding war begin.

[JimBHibees]

Imagine Grealish will be looking to leave this summer. Would be surprised if Villa let both go however maybe they have replacements lined up.

Plays on the opposite side. They'd need to sign someone if Grealish leaves.

James Pearce saying Liverpool aren't after a midfielder. Mentions 3 midfielders that they've looked at previously, McGinn isn't one of them.

They’ve bid for that Smith-Rowe from Arsenal I think.

Not saying McGinn necessarily but if they aren't after another midfielder then they should be

[MWHIBBIES]

Central midfield wasn't their issue. Thiago, Henderson and Fabinho is still a very good midfield. Wijnaldum is a big miss, though. I do agree they should be after a player, but having Fabinho back in there and Van Dijk fit will be a much bigger difference than getting McGinn would.

Clearly defensive injuries killed Liverpool. As for McGinn I think he would fit in great at Man United

McGinn is 4/5 years younger than Thiago & Henderson & there must also be question marks over long term injury impact. Makes perfect sense to me, 1st bid of £100m should do it!:wink:

RIGHT! I’m fed up now. When are we going to hear some positive transfer news from Hibs?
Pre-season just a week away and our European adventure only weeks beyond that, c’mon Hibs, let’s be having some happy news 🤨

And apart from the Arsenal game, they haven’t even told the fans what pre season games we have
Come on Hibs, could do with better communication on these games

Boyle, Nisbet, Doig & Porteous still being Hibs players the week before pre season is positive ........but subject to change.

Seemingly we are from the Raith end

Can you just imagine our neighbours if that sort of thing happened and we were on 20%-30%. You can almost feel the seething now 😂

Reading back the AGM thread, seem to be a bit of discussion on how much it’s worth, but the FD, Gaunt said that it was 20% sell on fee, and 30% of that went to St Mirren
If that’s the case a £50m fee would net Hibs £10m, we’d give £3m to Saints

15%

15%

That’s not what is on the AGM thread
Maybe someone can clear this up

[badabing67]

15%


Sell on = 10% ==> Hibs 5%==> St Mirren

That's my understanding

[Hibs90]

Any word on Irvine or other potential incomings?

We have one in so far and X amount out right?

That is my exact recollection of what I heard said on the AGM Zoom.

At the AGM the figure 20% was mentioned, but was corrected to 15% by the Interim CE. This 15% was the figure Leanne mentioned at one of the HSL meetings.

I don't think Spurs will consider that bid. £125 million starting bid required.

Henderson has been out for months and is a bit injury prone while Thiago has taken a bit of time to get up to speed. Wilnaljdum has played every week.

Report suggests he is choosing them over us and Aberdeen.
In other reports I am refusing this week's lottery numbers for a scratchcard win.
